Custom log on screen

I tried to do a search before I posted this, but I came up with very little. I want a new custom long on screen. And I particularly liked the Homer version in the DL section.

I installed it, and I noticed it made the necessary reg tweaks, as stated in the tutorial found elsewhere on this site. But it doesn't show up. So I then DLed the login loader, and reselected the Homer, and still nothing. I tried other log in screens from the DL section, and none of them work.

I already had the XP login enabled, I needed this because I have VPN setup to school which I needed.

Any ideas on how to force feed the new option into XP Pro?

Thanks
 
Me again.

I just went into the windows/system32 and completely removed the old logonui file, and replaced it with the logonui from the Homer. And still nothing. Why won't windows comply!!

Now I see how your parents feel when kids don't listen....
 
Last spam, I promise...

Seems like I fixed the problem, and for those interested, I'll tell you what I did.

I opened up the registry and had to search for the line gina.dll. Its in the hKey_localmachine_software/microsoft/windowsNT/winlogon. There is a string: gina.dll=csgina.dll. I just deleted that line and it works.

Setting the csgina.dll installed to "0" is useless, JSYK. I now have my custom Homer longon screen, thank you to the author of that masterpiece, as well as my VPN client.

Thanks anyways guys!
 
hehe..
So you really fixed you problem, huh? :)
Well, if you want to change the logon screen easy, there IS a software who can do this easy for you. Without you being scared of doing something wrong..

Find it under "Downloads" !
 
Thanks, but I initially did try the logon screen editor from the download page. It was of no help. Probably because it was creating another msgina.dll instead of working on the csgina.dll? A quick fix in the registry made things nice.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
